Acerca de esta escucha

David Strorm's father doesn't approve of Angus Morton's unusually large horses, calling them blasphemies against nature. Little does he realise that his own son, his niece Rosalind and their friends have their own secret aberration that would label them as mutants. But as David and Rosalind grow older it becomes more difficult to conceal their differences from the village elders. Soon they face a choice: wait for eventual discovery or flee to the terrifying and mutable Badland....

About the author: John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Benyon Harris was born in 1903, the son of a barrister. He tried a number of careers including farming, law, commercial art and advertising, and started writing short stories, intended for sale, in 1925. From 1930 to 1939 he wrote stories of various kinds under different names, almost exclusively for American publications, while also writing detective novels. During the war he was in the Civil Service and then the Army. In 1946 he went back to writing stories for publication in the USA and decided to try a modified form of science fiction, a form he called 'logical fantasy'.

Performance was amazing

Noah Reid did such an amazing job with this book. I’ve listened to many audio books and his reading is incomparable. His voice, his tone, and the different characters are flawless.

All around brilliant

I cannot believe this wasn’t required reading through my HS years, and that I hadn’t heard of it until now. This is such a masterful piece of writing by John Wyndham. Further praise to Noah Reid’s brilliant interpretation of characters, his inflection giving way to each person within the story without being a distraction. His smooth voice easily guided this story though my mind, painting a vivid picture for me to ponder for some time to come.
Highly recommend & hope to hear Noah do more projects like this!

Years ahead of its time

Although I had read Day of the Triffids, and so was familiar with the author, I didn't know what to expect. Was pleasantly surprised by this truly timeless story.

Alright story with excellent narration

This story was alright but I’m not a sci-fi person. I picked it up purely because Noah Reid was the narrator and he did not disappoint. I would listen to this man read the phone book. I hope he plans for more audio books in the future.

Compelling Narration of a Solid Story

I love a good dystopian novel, and while The Chrysalids might not top my list, it certainly ranks. Born into a post-apocalyptic, puritanical Unpleasantville called Labrador, protagonist David takes us on his journey, first of survival within the only world he has ever known, and then in attempted escape to a place where he and his companions can live safely despite their deviations from "God's image." For the most part, the story was a well-paced page turner, though I did feel it wrapped a little abruptly.

Noah Reid's narration brought the story to life, which I'm sure comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with his work. I have to think that the casting people at Audible saw his performance in Igor Drljaca's short film, The Archivists, and immediately reached out. He brought a unique voice and personality not only to the main character David, but to every major and minor character in the story. Though I imagine a career in narration is not among his plans, if he decides to narrate another book, I'll be listening.

This book is fantastic

I first read it some years ago in fact in high school over 20 years and it came back to my mind the other day. Honestly, I was so pleased to see it on audible so I had to listen. The story is really interesting and suspenseful as it unfolds. It’s almost like a parallel universe with Labrador and the Zealand. It’s worth the listen and the cost or credit. #fantastic futuristic and frightfully written.

Story was Amazing

I love this story from start to finish. I love how it progressed and we followed the development, struggles and events endured by the protagonist and the other characters from beginning to end. I think this story is way ahead of its time. very impressive. I also really loved how the narrator was able to individually craft out each character distinctively with his voice.

Perfect story perfectly told

Perfect story perfectly told, a new favourite! I’m not usually big in fiction but this was recommended to me by a friend and it was just a delight to listen to. Makes one pause and reflect on what “perfection” really is and just how humanity treats those who deviate from whatever “normal” is.
